  • Obsolete or unavailable components
  • Feasibility studies & technical research
  • Additional engineering capacity
Why work with us

Direct, practical engineering support.

Projects are handled directly by the engineers carrying out the design and development work, keeping communication straightforward and technical decisions close to the problem.

Multidisciplinary

Mechanical, electronic, embedded and prototyping requirements can be considered together rather than as separate activities.

Responsive

A small engineering team allows us to respond quickly, adapt as requirements develop and work closely with customers.

Commercially practical

Manufacturability, assembly, cost, component availability and real-world use are considered alongside technical performance.

Design & manufacturing partner

Support can continue beyond design into prototyping, production documentation and, where appropriate, ongoing manufacture and supply for products sold under your own brand.

ISO 9001 certified

JIKU operates an ISO 9001 certified quality management system, providing a structured framework for controlled processes, review and continual improvement across the business.

Engineering experience

Broad technical experience behind the work.

Our team brings experience across mechanical, electronic, electrical and software engineering, spanning both academic research and commercial product development.

Experience includes RF engineering, power electronics, battery systems, embedded hardware, IoT sensors and networks, prototyping, industrial automation, large-scale manufacturing machinery and multidisciplinary product development.
